Does Multifaceted Symbiosis Points to Creation?

[swamidass (S. Joshua Swamidass)]

Didn’t we cover this already? The Mullerian Two-Step explains this just fine: Which Irreducible Complexity? - #7 by swamidass.

@swamidass

The basic pattern for increasing complexity is.

1. Start with something.
2. Add something new.
3. Make the new thing necessary.

“Add something, make it necessary.”

The Mullerian Two-Step, or Why Behe's "Irreducible Complexity" is silly

And this came up too in response to @J.E.S’s article, making the same claims as Ross: Can Evolution Evolve Symbiosis and Mutualism?.

@swamidass

Except, we have evolved mutualism in the lab. The basic pattern is “first, add something, then make necessary.” Turns out that this is easy to do with evolution.

If you are saying: since intelligent intervention was required in order to make mutualism happen in the lab, intelligent intervention must have been necessary for mutualism to happen in nature as well; then I would agree with you.

No intervention required. Have you read about this?
